Sheet Metal Forming

Sheet Metal Forming

Measuring systems from GOM are used in stamping, bending, drawing, pressing, and forming process chains to guarantee consistent quality assurance: from determining the sheet metal properties, via accelerating tool try-out and first article inspection, up to series accompanying production control and assembly analysis. For design and simulation, GOM systems provide precise material properties by determining the forming limit curve (FLC). During try-out, sheet metal parts are checked for shape and dimensional accuracy as well as for material defects: part geometry, springback, trimming, hole pattern, material thickness and forming limit analysis. For the series-accompanying quality control, measuring and evaluation processes are automated.
